After seven years of construction, the Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project, located in California, is now complete. EarthCam documented every stage of progress in this intricate 90 second time lapse.
This iconic new bridge will carry 18 million vehicle trips per year, and has the highest vertical clearance of any cable-stayed bridge in the U.S. The bridge replacement is a joint effort of Caltrans and the Port of Long Beach, California.
Watch this incredible project come to life, and see the city’s highest structures (515 feet) rise up to form this critical link in the nation’s trade system. The bridge will create a major improvement for California’s transportation corridor and is officially in use for traffic today.
